History

The Częstochowa poviat was established for the first time in 1793 as a unit of the administrative division of South Prussia. In the years 1807-1815 in the Duchy of Warsaw, it was part of the Kalisz department. After the establishment of the Kingdom of Poland in 1815, it was incorporated into the Wieluń region. When in 1842 the districts were transformed into counties, it ceased to exist and became a part Wieluń County.

The poviat was reactivated in 1867, adding the commune to the administrative division. The years 1867-1952 the Częstochowa poviat survived in an almost unchanged shape. It was part of the Piotrków Governorate, and after 1918 it was incorporated into the Kielce Province.

In the interwar period, the boundaries of the Częstochowa poviat changed in 1926, when a small area was transferred to the newly created Zawiercie districtand some were attached to Częstochowa.

After World War II, the poviat initially belonged to the Kielce Province. In 1950, it was included in the Katowice Province and its borders were changed. In 1950, the Herby Polskie and Pietrzaki were transferred to the Lubliniec poviat. However, in 1952 it was separated from the north-west part of the poviat Kłobuck district, and fragments were included in the Częstochowa poviat Radomsko County and Włoszczowa poviat.

In 1975, the poviats were abolished as a result of the administrative reform, and the Częstochowa voivodship was created then.

As a result of the administrative reform in 1990, the district was re-established and remains so to this day.
